Shuji Inaba
GEL CD 02
to a Corpse
"Alongside Kan Mikami & Kazuki Tomokawa, Shuji Inaba has reinvigorated the Japanese
folk tradition. His music is always intensely physical, gaining much of its momentum
from the sheer force with which he contorts his voice and guitar. His approach is highly
percussive, slamming his closed fist against the strings and hammering single notes like
he's swatting sparrows while summoning great pained cries that implicate his entire body,
projecting words with such ferocity that you can hear them impact on the back of his
teeth." - The Wire
